Should We Use Last Year’s Signs?

link AFP: Battle lines drawn for Cancun climate conference.

I think they mean the line to the bar.  Once again, the global warming braintrust is convening in a nice sunny clime to listen to themselves talk about the weather.  It’s as if they were a pack of baying coyotes, you only wish you could throw a shoe and yell at them to shut up.  I wonder why they didn’t gather in Copenhagen again, or in London.  Oh, that’s right, all the snow makes standing outside with global warming signs uncomfortable.  Far more convenient to don the speedos and sip margaritas decrying the decadence of the west from a more civilized place. “This is much better than Kyoto.  You couldn’t get a decent drink there.”

I’m sure there’s an activities list handed out to the official attendees.  A typical day may look like this:

9:00 am:  breakfast at the pool cabana

10:30 am:   speech by Chick Gore  –  Topic- Urgency of Calamity,  Imminent Extinction; Only 6 to 8 months left for world. 

11:30 am:  speech by Al Little – Topic- Action Plan, How to raise taxes for the next 10 years to pay for initiatives

12:30 pm:  working  lunch at the conference hall- Topic- Disappearance of animal species due to Global Warming.  Accompanying lunch will be seared rare Ahi Tuna from the Gulf Coast with a selection of rare French wines.

1:45 pm:  Pre-protest primer in the main lobby.  Instruction on chanting and fist shaking.  Final spell check on protest signs.  Fake beards handed out.

2:00 pm:  Official protest rally of the day; gather at gates of the golf course, sunscreen will be provided.

2:10 pm:  Camera crew leaves, protest over for the day.
